CROSS-EXAMINATION
Witness (Frank Sahwit): I was going door-to-door, selling subscriptions, when I
saw a man fleeing an apartment.
I thought he must be in a hurry because he left the door half-open behind him.
Thinking it strange, I looked inside the apartment.
Then I saw her lying there A woman not moving dead!
I quailed in fright and found myself unable to go inside.
I thought to call the police immediately!
However, the phone in her apartment wasnt working.
I went to a nearby park and found a public phone.
I remember the time exactly: It was 1 PM.
Lawyer (Phoenix Wright): OBJECTION!
You found the body at 1 PM. Youre sure?
Witness (Frank Sahwit): Yes. It was 1 PM, for certain.
Lawyer (Phoenix Wright) [slamming his palms face-down on the table]:
Frankly, I find that hard to believe.
Your statement directly contradicts the autopsy report.
